On this episode of "What Scares Startups", our guest is Andrew Czarnietizki. Andrew is the President, Co-Founder and Lead Developer of Edmonton-based indie game studio Only By Midnight. With over 15 years of experience in the games industry, Andrew is a co-founder of Serious Labs and has shipped over 18 serious game titles as Programmer and Lead Designer, including a line of award-winning VR Crane simulators.

Andrew chats with us about the fear and excitement of turning your side hustle into your main gig, and what it's like to transition from a big team to running your own boutique studio. Andrew also talks to us about approaching being a founder like a disruptor, and about being driven by knowing that there's a better way to do things and setting out to run a business that isn't necessarily in line with the way it's been done traditionally.

As always, lots of great stuff to unpack in this one, so check it out to learn more!
